How the site is built.
The site is plain HTML with no page builder, which is most of the work. Every page has one title heading and sections in order, a main landmark, and a declared language, English or Spanish. A "skip to content" link appears for keyboard users at the top of every page. Every link, button, and control can be reached and used from the keyboard, with a visible focus ring. The menu, the site search, and the sign-up form tabs announce their state to screen readers.
Every photograph and chart carries a text description. Every chart also has a "read the panel as a table" version. The interactive map has a state selector for people who do not use a pointer. All text colors have been checked against their backgrounds and meet the contrast the standard requires. The site respects the reduced-motion setting, and it reflows to a phone screen without sideways scrolling. Nothing on the site is conveyed by color alone.
The court opinions and statutes in the resource library are scans of the original documents and cannot be read aloud by every screen reader. Each is introduced in text on the page that cites it. Video clips are hosted on YouTube, which provides captions; one older clip hosted here does not yet have them. The sign-up forms are built by Airtable, and their internal styling is Airtable's.
Where the network wrote the document itself, the New Jersey findings one-pager and the plea disclosure petition, the same content is on the site as text: the New Jersey record and the CAES panel.
